"It's coming from the right. Let's crawl and move."

"..."

No...did we have to do this much?

However, Ryu Chungwoo already began to crawl with a serious look on his face.

'We're wearing a wig and Hwarang costumes while crawling on a grassy ground...'

It was a terrible mix.

In the meantime, an arrow flew over our heads and hit a wooden fence.

Thwump!

The wooden planks were stained with blue pigment. Then Ryu Chungwoo pointed his bow and arrow toward the spot where the arrow flew from with his hawk eyes.

Of course, it was just a toy bow meant for children.

Swish.

"Aah!"

"Out~!"

"Aww, so close!"

The two finalists from the other team wearing scarlet headbands emerged from behind a wooden fence with yellow pigment on their shoulders.

They were the ones who shot with their heads up and down at the end of the fence.

'...He fired one and hit two.'

His skill was at a level that could destroy an ecosystem. It was like being on the same team and witnessing someone, who was a diamond rank in a video game, having a sub-account and slaughtering everyone in bronze rank.

"Seems like there are three teams left. I'll strike from the left."

Please, let's just stop it.

"...Hyung, why don't we wait until the number of people reduces?"

"Ah."

Ryu Chungwoo finally realized that he had crossed the line and his face looked a little embarrassed. He was like an adult who came to his senses after having a serious snowball fight among kids.

"You're right... Let's wait behind that."

"Yes."

"Hmm, it's been a while since I've done something like this, so it's fun."

Ryu Chungwoo had a slightly refreshed expression.

It seemed like he was the type to relieve stress by winning in basic competitive content such as this.

'Does he play LoL?'

It would be perfect for him since he doesn't get affected by trash talk from toxic gamers.

In any case, I crawled behind the largest wooden fence nearby at Ryu Chungwoo's suggestion. But before we could get there, the arrows started flying again. It was the guys with green bands on their heads.

'Has the other side been cleaned up already?'

There were even 4 people left there.

'I guess now we can slowly get hit and get eliminated.'

I think the other side can win and finish just fine if Ryu Chungwoo eliminates just two more.

However, things did not go as expected.

"Watch out...!"

"Oh my god!"

"Is it done?"

"Aack!"

It was true that Ryu Chungwoo eliminated two more.

However, right after that, he ended up getting hit with paint and got eliminated himself, and the rest of the other teams were eliminated as well.

So all of a sudden, with only one guy with a green band remaining, a one-on-one match between us was decided.

"..."

"..."

Is this for real?

The problem was that the other side also knew that they had to eliminate Ryu Chungwoo, so they intensely focused on firing at him, and Ryu Chungwoo had also fired at the guys who seemed likely to hit him first.

In other words, the two camper survivors were the weakest ones left behind.

//TN: Camper/camping is a video game term for those players who hide and wait until they survive at the end

The other side must have been taken aback as well and missed the arrow while repeatedly shouting 'Oh, oh?'.

"...Haah."

All of a sudden, this became a fight between noobs.

At that time, Ryu Chungwoo, whose neck was covered in paint, quickly shouted.

"Moondae, use me as a cover and quickly hit him!!"

"..."

Where did our silent agreement to do this moderately go?

Anyway, I couldn't show people that I wasn't trying, so I leaned down and aimed my bow properly.

"Ugh!"

The funny thing was that in the middle of that, the paint they shot really hit Ryu Chungwoo's back.

'Do I go for it now?'

I reluctantly shot the arrow. I didn't really expect it to hit. The arrow would probably just pass over their heads.

"...Uwah!"

"...?"

But I... actually hit?

"Ah!! Seriously!!"

Of all things, the last remaining guy had raised his hand to pull out an arrow, and he ended up putting his hand directly to the trajectory of the arrow and got hit.

What's with all this?

"Waaah!!"

"Moondae won!!"

The guys who had been eliminated and were waiting ran out and began to rejoice.

Ryu Chungwoo also patted my back with a big smile.

"Well done!"

"...Wow!"

I clenched my fists while looking at the camera. There's nothing I can do about winning so let's at least block any attitude controversies, damn it.

However, the MC ran out of the commentator's booth and delivered some good news.

"Ah~ TeStar Hwarang! You guys are eliminated!"

"...?!"

"Why?!"

"The eliminated Hwarang should have left the battlefield right away. You can't help the surviving Hwarang."

"...!!"

The victory went to the green band team like that.

"The winner of the coloring battle is... Onyx!"

"Waaahhh!!"

"We did it!!"

And the TeStar guys had the same expression as a raccoon after it washed its cotton candy.

"..."

"Was it Chungwoo hyung's fault?"

"Sorry..."

"It's okay."

With Cha Yujin's withered answer, the filming of finished.

* * *

And spectacularly flopped.

It wasn't because of any sadistic aspects of the show or because of any controversies. It was just because the show was awfully boring.

The editing and captions were so old-fashioned that they couldn't make any of the content interesting.

In addition, the publicity was not stimulating, so word of mouth about TeStar did not spread before airing. It was because the production crew was so conscious of the similarity with 'Idol Olympics' that they focused only on the format of the show to distribute press releases.

Thanks to this, there were quite a few people who were TeStar's casual fans who didn't know at all that TeStar was going to appear.

Only photos and videos of various idols dressed up as Hwarang remained and were used as good sales data, and fulfilled its purpose.

And the show ended forlornly without becoming a regular program.

But apart from that, TeStar's value began to rise even after appearing on this ruined program.

The fans were still trying to save themselves, but TeStar, who updated their initial first-week sales record with a difference of more than 100,000 copies compared to last time and was doing well on the music charts, had completely established themselves as the 'popular idols'.

Thanks to this, achieving first place in the first week's performance broadcast was possible.

Fans were nervous about whether something strange would happen due to the checks of other fandoms, but they enjoyed the pleasure of a career-high and continued to enjoy themselves.

And it was around that time that , a collaboration game with TeStar, was released.

In fact, fans were not too wary of the game. This was because TeStar's comeback activity had few elements that seemed to be related to this game.

The analysis from when the trailer first came out had also withered away and had been reduced due to the analysis of the 'Airplane' music video.

The atmosphere was similar when the game advertisement appeared. It was because the advertisement photo selected was of TeStar members promoting the game in the trailer's outfits.

The response from game enthusiasts was also good.

Although they were anxious, they welcomed the expansion of the board. This was because the probability that the company would not go bankrupt right away even if it did something crazy increased.

And the day the game was released...

Both the TeStar fandom and the gaming community had been turned upside down.

* * *

"Oh, it's done."

Park Moondae's first homepage master checked her smartphone while leaving the video of Park Moondae's Hwarang video she was editing.

The game had been downloaded and an app icon was added to the desktop.

'I've never played a game like this before... I'll have to give it a try though.'

First of all, it was because Moondae advertised it. She was thinking of taking care of the number of downloads and plays.

Of course, she didn't have a hobby of playing games like this, so she was just going to properly do the tutorial and quit. She launched the app.

'Let's do it quickly and end it.'

After a brief additional installation time, the tutorial began immediately.

And five minutes later she met a fellow character in the game.

It was a boy in a black hoodie who used a drone. Each time the drone was controlled his eyes glowed purple.

"...!?"

It was Park Moondae in the comeback trailer video.
